ZML: A Zig-Based Inference Engine Bringing LLMs to AMD GPUs
ZML, a Paris-based open-source project, is gaining traction as a production inference stack written almost entirely in Zig — bypassing the Python and PyTorch dependency chains that dominate AI infrastructure. With its v2 release on March 24, 2026, ZML now compiles large language models directly onto NVIDIA, AMD, Google TPU, and AWS Trainium hardware from […]
